Track OER - OER Commons bookmarklet service screen cast

Transcript

Track OER is a JISC-funded project to demonstrate technical solutions to the problem of tracking OER (Open Educational Resources). As part of the Track OER project we have developed a service to add license-tracker snippets to resources available through the OER Commons portal.

And, here's how it works:

First visit the link track dot olnet dot org and put at the end a question mark, edge equals one, http://track.olnet.org/?edge=1 (this just means use experimental features)

Then make sure your browser's bookmarklets/ bookmarks bar is available

Then drag the bookmarklet that's in the bottom-left of the site to your bookmarks or favourites bar,

Additionally, you can change the license, for example using… the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike [License] like so.

Currently the Track OER bookmarklet service is mostly a demonstration. It can be used by a publisher on small batches of OERs. Download the Track OER code and consider integrating it into your publishing workflow for full scale integration of tracking. We are considering extending the current functionality into an “Embed Me” or “Embed 'n' Track” service for OpenLearn and OER Commons.
